Movie description:
»Toomelah« tells the story of a delinquent boy Daniel living in Toomelah, a poverty stricken outpost in Australia. Daniel rarely attends school and instead starts spending his time with the town drug dealer Linden. From this meeting on, the story flatlines into an hour of nothing but Daniel riding in the car with Linden and the town of substance abusers telling Daniel he should stay clean until Bruce is introduced. Bruce has recently come back from jail and is taking back his reign as top drug dealer in Toomelah. From here on, Daniel must decide his place as a boy in a world full of adult criminals.
The story centres on Daniel, a ten year old boy who dreams of being a »gangster«. He is kicked out of school and befriends a local gang leader, until a rival gangster arrives back from jail to reclaim his turf. A showdown ensues and Daniel is caught in the middle, leaving him with a choice to make about his uncertain future.
The film is set entirely in the remote Indigenous community of Toomelah, located on the NSW, QLD border. It was created as a mission during the 1930s, bringing together Gamilaroi and Bigambal people from the surround-ing area.
